Spring....really?

Hi, and welcome!

Our weather is certainly weird, right now! We are usually still shivering in our winter woollies. and my patchwork quilts are folded on the bottom of our bed, but today has been more like May than the last day of February.....weird, indeed!

Still, as I said yesterday, the spring flowers are making an appearance, and the local farmer is preparing for his new lambs, so the seasons are on the turn...........

Sara has a lovely free digi stamp that you can use for her challenge, so why not click on the above link...after you've finished reading the rest of my guff, of course!........and join in the challenge....great prize up for grabs, too!

Oh, this was fun to make! Both images are from Sara....cute, eh?

The papers are from my scrap pile, inked with a soft yellow chalk, and layered with the pretty K&Co ribbon......

I coloured with PMs, and fussy-cut the sweet girlie on the swing......I used a Making Memories die to cut a tab shape, and attached to the top of the swing ropes...all up on pop dots......

I used the Marianne's lamp post die for the swing support.........

t

And this is the freebie that Sara has provided.......couldn't resist it...ha!

Again, coloured with PMs, and a dinky flutterby to embellish....done!

Go get the freebie, and join the challenge....and don't forget to take a look in the store, too....lots of cutie must-haves in there!

At least all this crafting malarkey is keeping you out of trouble, eh? Or are you out frolicking with those lambs you mentioned? I know for certain that's not you on the swing, as she isn't a glorious redhead like yourself :P

This is a great way to swing into spring! I love all the great details you've added like the pearl flowers and the scroll stand next to the swing! They have just plowed our streets today so that when it does start melting we won't get stuck in the slush!LOL

Hi Anne-Marie: This is adorable! I love the Springs beneath the name. How great on the THEME title! Also, the white embellishment in the bottom left is really nice as well. The whole card is very fresh. Thank you for coming to OSAAT this week. See you soon once again? Smiles, Samara

I love the sweet little girl with the 'boo-boos' on her elbow and knee! Reminds me of me when I was a little younger! I always had a band-aid stuck somewhere...The colors and the sentiment are perfect for the challenge and quite fitting for the crazy weather we've been having here too!
